Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XI: I May Not Postpone Naming My Thread

why though? it's a legit treatment in battlefield first aid, and a couple of surgical applications!

*unless there's a damn good reason, the following should not be standard in a medikit: crowbars, 95° homebrewed alcohol (aka "something medicinal"), rude gestures, spare testicles, spare organs "saved for just such an occasion", napalm, peruvian death peppers, mace (the weapon, not the body spray), ketamine, and adderall.

(yup, i have legit pulled all those out of my medikit or my teammates'... the less you know, the better)

**not allowed to use my mnemonic techniques to pull random drugs out of my medikit if the dm doesn't know at the least the effects of said drug...
*** no more rohypnol for open-brain surgery. (even if it was invented for that).
**** don't even mention a syringe full of viagra in case of a heart attack... (best case scenario, dude gets happy. worst case, it's a warrior's peace)

**I may not use any cantrip to make a railgun
***I may not use any other spell to make a railgun
****using mage hand to rip somebody's heart out is right out!

* [Changeling: The Lost] My GM frowns on any character who can "Scooby doo" the Huntsman and survive. ( "Hey, what's that behind you?" "What?" "Yoink!")
* Discouraged from ruining the GM's punny fun by guessing the pun twist before he reveals it. (Charging Clock faced monsters that explode and leave no trace of the person they exploded on...)

* If I use the phrase "I think I'll be funny and start with the Fame Merit on [character name], my freshly escaped changeling", the previous GM for that character should at least hide his smile from the new GM.

[D&D 3.5] As the Gm, I should avoid ever putting a 15 year old girl who is a Wizard 5 / Alienist 7 again. The Knight did not enjoy being Retributive Polymorphed into a pink fluffy bunny.

*I may no longer apply metamagic to Shivering Touch.
**Nor may I use Triadspell in combination with it.
***Nor may I combine it with any version of Spell Matrix.
****Nor may I use it with Spectral Hand or any similar effect.
*****If my Warforged can cast Shivering Touch, I may not take the Wand Bond feat.

Spoiler: Context

Show

Shivering Touch is one of the most broken spells in D&D 3.5: it deals 3d6 Dexterity damage, no save. All the following methods are either ways of making the spell more powerful, or ways of getting more uses of it.

*I may no longer play a Warlock/Binder multiclass character, at least not if I'm a Hellfire Warlock.

Spoiler: Context

Show

Hellfire Warlock is a very powerful Warlock PrC; it adds plenty of hellfire damage(which bypasses fire resistance) to your Eldritch Blast, but you take a point of Con damage. However, even low-level Binders can bind Naberius, who heals a point of ability damage per round.

This isn't actually that broken, especially not compared to T1 classes, but it's powerful for a low-op game.

*I may no longer take the Invisible Spell metamagic feat.

Spoiler: Context

Show

Invisible Spell makes the spell, well, invisible, and also has no spell level adjustment. Even the basic uses of it are fairly powerful, but it's completely broken when applied to the right spells. For example, Invisible Solid Fog can only be seen by creatures that can see invisible things. So it has the effect of shutting off most effects that can see invisible creatures - but other people are just fine. Invisible Summon Monster [insert number] is even worse, for obvious reasons. Don't even get me started on Invisible Raise Dead.

*Even if I'm a Nomad, can't say that I'm Thinking With PortalsTM.

Spoiler: Context

Show

D&D 3.5 Psions have to choose a discipline. Nomads are Psions who have chosen Psychoportation, which comprises of powers related to movement, time, and most importantly, teleportation. This includes the 9th-level power, teleportation circle, psionic, which is essentially a portal.

I was planning to say something like this during my last game, but the DM went AWOL.

*If I check GitP and I find a build that's almost identical to yours, it's vetoed unless you have a very good reason. And maybe not even then.

Spoiler: Context

Show

Gaming forums in general have plenty of OP builds, but GitP in particular houses many. Partly because a lot of the good stuff from the WotC forums got moved here, and we're archiving the BrilliantGameologists forum handbooks/homebrew here as well.

[As DM]
I cannot set my campaign in "Faerun, but after the Giants invaded", when by Giants I mean everyone from this series of threads.
Nor can it be set during a war between Tuckers Kobolds and Grus Minions.
Even Apocalyptic settings have their limits.

*If my bard is killed in a dungeon, taken to a temple of his god, and resurrected, he should come back with the same personality he had before, not as a nigh-unrecognizable, half-insane religious fanatic who believes he has been sent back as his deity's mortal proxy, with a divine mandate to seek out and destroy evil.

..Y'all realize that a Wobuffet can be the scariest thing in the world with the Shadow Tag ability, right? That thing's taking down at least one, maybe two enemies before folding.

* May no longer treat my murderbots like porcelain dolls.
** Even if their dresses are extremely pretty.
*** May not question how someone with the two settings of 'greased lightning' and 'weedwhacker' keeps that dress flawless.

* If my main schtick is bringing a bunch of low-cost but strong minions to a fight, must make sure the minions are actually doing something in the game.
** The teleporter should be spending her turns bringing big fatties into melee range, not playing house with tiny insignificant minions.
*** If my army is built around abusing the sheer power of its commander, must make sure the commander can actually do something.
